WiNeRF: Measurement Constrained Radiance Fields for Actionable Wireless Channel Modeling

WiNeRF is a neural field framework that learns a spatially continuous, complex-valued wireless channel representation from sparse channel state information collected by commodity WiFi devices. It incorporates system constraints such as antenna geometry, limited spatial resolution, and phase uncertainty through a 3D conical wave sampling model, a multi-resolution implicit scene representation, and a differentiable optimization framework. In diverse indoor environments with non‑line‑of‑sight regions, WiNeRF achieves a median prediction SNR of 5.3 dB, outperforming prior neural baselines by 4.9 dB on average, and produces a task‑agnostic channel representation that can be reused in standard signal‑processing pipelines without hardware or protocol changes.

Wireless Foundation Models: State-of-the-Art and Open Challenges

The paper surveys wireless foundation models (WFMs), highlighting their role in learning reusable representations from large-scale wireless data for physical-layer tasks. It systematically reviews WFM design components—pretraining, backbone architectures, and downstream adaptation—and categorizes the literature into five task families: signal recognition and demodulation, channel representation learning, RF sensing and localization, beam management, and spectrum sensing and monitoring, including multi-task models. The analysis reveals that while WFMs show promise, evidence of transferability varies across tasks and evaluation settings, and differences in datasets, modalities, architectures, and distribution shifts hinder clear conclusions about effective design choices.

Self-Localizing MIMO Beam Mapping with Continuously Evolving Channel Memory

The paper introduces a self‑localizing MIMO beam‑mapping framework that builds a hierarchical wireless memory using sparse channel state information (CSI) without explicit location labels. It employs beam‑domain RSS as compact inputs, a dual‑scale extractor for angular and temporal dependencies, and a hybrid temporal encoder to infer physical anchors that index a structured radio map. The radio‑map embedding enables continuous updates and full‑CSI reconstruction, yielding over 30% better anchor recovery and more than 20% channel‑capacity gains in NLOS beam tracking compared to Kalman‑filter methods.
